Addison Duke, new emerging artist at Canary Gallery

I am thrilled to announce a new and emerging artist at Canary Gallery. Addison Duke, a world traveler, has landed in Birmingham bringing with him delightful large modern paintings on canvas and creative continuous line abstracts on paper.

Addison’s works often obtain a written message. A Little Sleep’s meaningful admonition is to not rest on ones laurels but to work hard! *A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest* balances the vibrant colors and large size of the piece.

His continuous line abstracts are created by a contraption he made out of wood to allow simultaneous use of multiple pens in his drawings. The added watercolor enhances the drawings, bringing them from a simple black and white image to magically, colorful renderings.

Abundance of sunshine and Birmingham Bill is up tomorrow on Groundhog Day!

The sun in streaming through the windows of Canary Gallery as we await with anticipation the prediction of Birmingham Bill tomorrow on Groundhog Day, one of my favorite holidays! Stop by for a lovely glass of wine or craft beer as you enjoy this spectacular day.

The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls-Pablo Picasso

Beginning in October I was breathless with anticipation of the changing of the leaves of the Ginkgoes lining 2d Avenue North. But I gotta tell ya that this dreary weather has challenged even those elegant fan-like yellow leaves insofar as uplifting my spirit. This morning, however, artist Victor Bokas delivered a painting which makes my heart soar. Clams, Shells & White Flowers (below) has brightened my day; I hope it brightens yours.
